I’m likely on a yet another burnout cycle, and I have little to no possibility of meeting with people thanks to the place I live. I also have trouble with socializing in general, even in online spaces.

Since my current job I don’t make enough to move or to live alone, and the only better place would cost me more than the Hungarian minimum wage (of which I make less than thanks to labor programs 🤢), I cannot really change this, also would only marginally help me since I always had issues with socializing.

    practice socializing. its a skillset, not a genetic talent. people used to have to socialize to get anything done, and nowadays we’ve been able to hide from each other and get by. its awkward and scary to learn. start calling customer service people just to compliment. they will adore you. then call retirement communities and ask for random room numbers. they will have all the time in the world for you. start making eye contact and smiling when someone looks back. start wearing a conversation piece. you’ll soon be a katy perry video. that skillset is incredibly life changing. it will find you money and friendships and affection.
